Reflections on a Whirlwind Year in Conservation Architecture

Paul Channing • 4 December 2024

2024. What a year for BluePrint.

As we approach the end of another year, it's time to pause and reflect on the incredible journey we've experienced. The past 12 months have been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with challenging projects, rewarding outcomes, and a pace that has left us breathless but fulfilled.

Our commitment to preserving local architectural heritage has kept us so engrossed that we've barely had a moment to share our experiences with you. It's been over two years since our last project update and an astonishing 21 months since we penned our last journal entry. This radio silence wasn't intentional – it's simply a testament to the demanding nature of our work and the trust our clients have placed in us.

While being in high demand is certainly a positive sign, our lack of communication may have left some of you wondering about our recent endeavours. We've been working tirelessly behind the scenes, tackling complex heritage projects, navigating intricate planning processes, and ensuring our local architectural treasures are in good shape for future generations.

To bridge this gap and provide you with valuable insights into our work, we're excited to announce that we're preparing an Investment Guide. This comprehensive resource will offer a deep dive into our world, showcasing our expertise and providing the information you need to consider us for your next project.

We appreciate your patience and continued interest in our work. The Investment Guide is our way of reconnecting with you, sharing our knowledge, and demonstrating the value we bring to every heritage project we undertake.

Keep an eye on this space—we'll release the Investment Guide soon and can't wait to share it with you. It's our promise to keep you better informed and engaged with our passion for architectural conservation.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Here's to another year of preserving history, one building at a time.

Cheers,

Paul
